There is some notion that one can believe in science. Science is not a belief. Science is science. If you don’t believe in science, you are a denier. You deny that evidence that is examined and evaluated can predict future results. It’s that simple.
You can certainly believe that facts are not true. You can believe that experimentation will not produce repeatable results when the conditions are controlled. This doesn’t make you correct or thoughtful. It makes you ignorant.
Time for yet another post wishing I had an app to do a certain thing...
Over the past few months I've been waffling between written (with a pen) note-taking and taking notes via a computer. These options both have their trade-offs.
I am reminded again how making friends as an adult is hard. Maybe it was hard as a kid, too - I can't remember having friends as a kid, really. It's strange that it's so difficult. One must assume that this is because other people must not want to make new friends, or because people are are very particular about the kinds of people they want to be friends with, even though with how hard it is to make friends, you'd think people would be more open to less ideal friendships.
I may have mentioned before about how even when it's possible to find an adult couple with kids our kid's ages, there may be weird things that make it difficult to relate. Some differences in religious belief, food tastes, politics, or economic status. Usually, we're the ones that don't go to church, eat weird food, and are - between the two of us - mostly liberal (even though I registered as a Republian after the 2016 election, which is a whole different topic), and that ends up being part of what turns people off somehow.
There has been a recent torrent of releases of streaming TV services by companies both expected and unexpected. Since they mostly provide a free 2-4 week trial, I've signed up for all of them! Here's what I found.
I've been signed up for Sling TV for a while now. Sling was a good service for getting me the channels that I could not get ofer-the-air. The antenna in my bedroom is connected to a device that can stream TV throughout my home network. Supplemented with Sling TV's live TV from a handful of channels, things didn't seem like I was missing cable TV so much.
It has been over a year since my last blog post was published, and yes, this does feel a bit like a confession.
I have a handful of new habits I'm trying out. Maybe blogging again will stick. I think there may be a change coming that will facilitate this, but I'm not yet ready to say what that is.
